Howdy folks.
I've seen this old pine on the side of the road and it is a really beautiful tree. My thoughts are that it is a Jack Pine based on the very small needles that are flat and reminiscent of the Schoodic Jack Pine that I bought.
The plant is maybe 40 feet tall. It is in the Chicago area. It is a two needle pine. The needles are less than an inch long, flat and slightly curved. This year's shoot's growth was roughly 2 inches long.
The bark though is dark brown, almost black.
I've got pictures of the actual tree, a shoot, some individual pairs of needles, and a cone.
I understand if it's not an easy answer, I'm just curious.
Thanks for any help folks.
